Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes

Since so many of us are staying local these days, Souplantation is making it easy to feel like you’re on a culinary vacation even when you’re not! Every two weeks from now until the end of September, the restaurant will feature food from a different region. The current theme is Greece and moves on to Asia tomorrow! Expect delicious dishes like a Thai Udon Noodle & Peanut Salad, Indian Lentil Soup, Sweet & Sour Broccoli Slaw, and more! Another fun aspect of this month’s “themes” are special placemats for kids which correspond to each region and include coupons for discounts at local attractions and suggestions for “Staycations” right in your backyard!

Unfortunately there’s no location anywhere near me, but I thought some of you might be interested in this promotion!

A little bit of Souplantation’s history:

The very first Souplantation brought delicious, healthy dining to San Diego in March 1978… and now have 110 company-owned restaurants in 15 states. 265 million guests since 1978 have helped us to be #1 in fresh produce and salads, made-from-scratch soups, hot-tossed pastas, freshly baked breads and muffins, fresh fruit, frozen yogurt, and more. We pride ourselves on offering an all-you-care-to-eat dining experience where each of our guests can create a meal tailored to their needs. Of course, you can count on fresh, high-quality ingredients and daily made-from-scratch menu items. In order to enhance our brand and reflect our dedication to fresh, wholesome ingredients, we adopted the name Sweet Tomatoes for new restaurants outside Southern California.
